This June, the Criterion Collection adds a few more titles to their illustrious catalog of offerings. Including a three-part masterpiece of early sound cinema from Marcel Pagnol, a macabre double bill from Alfred Hitchcock, and a pioneering lovers-on-the-run noir from Nicholas Ray. Plus, Blu-ray upgrades of Sam Peckinpah’s ‘Straw Dogs‘ and ‘Kenji Mizoguchi’s‘ Ugetsu.

Smithereens is a film from 1982 that focuses on the end of the punk rock scene in New York City. Directed by Susan Seidelman (She-Devil), the film focuses on a young woman who will do whatever it takes to be a part of the punk scene. I don’t mean a musician either, but rather a groupie or someone in the background. Unfortunately, in real life, there were a ton of these people who met their demise early on in life by way of crime, drugs or alcohol. This one is no different and while it might not be as brutal as Sid and Nancy, it’s just as tragic in a subtle way. It’s a fantastic film and Criterion Collection has brought the film to their amazing collection on Blu-ray. With a new transfer in HD, a mono soundtrack and excellent extras, this film Smithereens is Highly Recommended. Please listen to the review in podcast form below.

I’m back kids, and I’ve got the latest list of titles the esteemed Criterion Collection will add to it’s ranks in August of this year. It’s always an excellent list of movies any collector should be proud to add to their collections, and August’s list is no exception. Without further ado, on to the movies!!!

Here we our with out 30th podcast. I can’ve believe we are at 30 weeks already. This is a milestone for our little podcast. As usual, we always start out with some sort of list. For the 30th week, we decided to discuss the best Criterion Collection Titles of all time. Now what is a Criterion Collection Title, you ask? Criterion is like the Neiman Marcus of home video. They have the best extras, the best audio and video presentations, and choose films for their collection that are culturally important and significant. We had some pretty amazing picks, which at times we had to restrain ourselves from stopping the podcast and watching one of these films. It was a lot of fun. And please let us know, what you think by going to our FACEBOOK page, which you should visit to catch up on all the latest information. And don’t forget to visit iTunes and Stitcher and subscribe to our podcast. Enjoy the show.

What an excellent geek deal sale going on right now. For the time being, there are quite a few Criterion Blu-rays are on sale over at Amazon. Looks like they are 50% off or more at the moment. That’s not an exaggeration, just look below. If you are a fan of the Criterion Blu-ray collection, then this is the time to get them, for I don’t know how long this sale will last.

The good folks over at Criterion are having a HUGE flash sale from now until noon tomorrow. That’s right, a 24 hour sale where all of their films are 50% off. Take advantage of this, for this doesn’t happen often. Use promo code ‘FLASH’ at checkout to receive the 50% off your purchase.

The good folks over at Criterion have just announced their titles for December, 2012. There are some really cool titles for December. One title I have waited for years to own on criterion. Another title is actually Christopher Nolan’s first film, ‘Following’, which is very exciting. If this is any indication, we might get future Nolan films on Criterion sooner than later, which means a possible Dark Knight Criterion. After all, with Criterion, most director’s who get a film in at Criterion, tend to get more of their films in that pot. So here’s hoping. Sadly, no announcement of ‘Good Burger’ or any of the Ernest movies yet, but hopefully in the year 2013, we will get at least one of those. I can’t wait until December now. Thanks, Criterion. Thanks.

Criterion knocked this release out of the park. I;m not surprised. Criterion is the Neiman Marcus of home video releases. And, with their Hollis Frampton Odyssey bluray, they don’t disappoint. I would imagine, only film buffs and film majors know who Hollis Frampton is. If you don’t know who he is, if you love cinema, experimentation, and art, then you will instantly fall in love with Frampton’s films. Frampton is the godfather of digital art, and this bluray shows you why he got that name. Simply phenomenal. This disc gets my highest recommendation.

Criterion has announced some great titles to be released in May of 2012. Some great classics and modern classics on Blu-Ray. Below you can see all the extras and synopsis of each film. Also a link to pre order the titles listed. Enjoy. Especially looking forward to ‘Being John Malkovich’. Click on the images to pre-order.

Luis Bunuel’s ‘Belle de Jour’ is a fantastic sensual odyssey that I enjoyed immensely. Catherine Deneuve is just radiant and amazing in the lead role. Criterion really rolled out the red carpet with this release. The video and audio presentations are fantastic and the extras are very good. If you are a fan of the beautiful Catherine Deneuve and or an intense tale of sexual fantasy and fetish, then this movie is for you. I just love this movie and it will make a great addition to your criterion section.

Criterion has announced some great titles to be released in the months of March and April of 2012. Some great classics on Blu-Ray. Below you can see all the extras and synopsis of each film. Also a link to pre order the titles listed. Enjoy. Especially looking forward to ‘Harold and Maude’. Click on the images to pre-order.

Criterion knocks it out of the park yet again with the release of Roman Polanski’s 1966 absurdly funny ‘Cul-De-Sac’. Before Polanski’s larger hits such as ‘Chinatown’ and ‘Rosemary’s Baby’, he made more of the experimental type film. This is where ‘Cul-De-Sac’ comes in. Throughout the film, you will see the film go from a seductive and sadistic thriller and slowly change into a twisted dark comedy. Truly a great little film from a fantastic director. And of course anything with Donald Pleasence is gold right?

Criterion rolls out the red carpet yet again with Todd Solondz’s film, ‘Life During Wartime’. This is a loosely based sequel to his hit 1998 film ‘Happiness’ where new actors play the same characters. ‘Life During Wartime’ is a disturbed yet darkly funny film with an all-star cast that weaves a family’s trials and tribulations during a momentary time shortly after 9/11. You will dislike and feel bad for most of the characters in this film, yet you will laugh throughout the film from their insane thoughts and lives. I love watching ‘Life During Wartime’. So many interesting characters to try and wrap your mind around and a gorgeous backdrop of sunny Florida make this Criterion release a must see and purchase.

Criterion has announced eight titles to be released for the month of November with a couple of additions for late October. It will be a great month for Criterion. Below you can see all the extras and synopsis of each film. Enjoy.

We will soon be announcing revised Blu-ray and DVD editions of Jean Renoir’s masterpiece The Rules of the Game as part of our November lineup—we are replacing one supplement and creating new packaging.

Our original DVD edition will then be officially out of print. However, at this time we are offering it at a 65% discount from the suggested retail price at Criterion.com. (Use the promotion code REGLE at checkout.) This makes the movie $13.98. We have a limited supply. We will fulfill orders as soon as we can.

Criterion rolls out the red carpet yet again with their release of Satyajit Ray’s ‘The Music Room’. The film looks stunning in all of its hi-def glory and 1080p transfer. ‘The Music Room’ is required viewing for any fan of cinema and music. The film takes a you on a journey of change, depression, growing old, and the class system and weaves them all together with music. It really is outstanding.

The magnificent Criterion Collection has just announced their October 2018 titles, which include Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s long-unavailable television series Eight Hours Don’t Make a Day, a working-class soap opera suffused with affection and solidarity, Warren Beatty in Shampoo– a sly sendup of sex and politics in the 1960s directed by Hal Ashby, Brian De Palma’s Sisters, the virtuoso director’s twisted and terrifying first foray into Hitchcock territory, and Cornel Wilde’s stripped-down action film The Naked Prey. But more importantly, the iconic film ‘The Princess Bride‘ is finally getting the high-end home video treatment from Criterion.

The incredible Criterion Collection is celebrating Ingmar Bergman’s 100th birthday by releasing an all new gigantic Blu-ray box set of Begman’s movies, which will come with 39 of his films and a big 248 book about the filmmaker. Ingmar Bergman is one of those legendary filmmakers whose motion pictures are studied in schools and watched in every generation. This is great news to have this kind of set released, celebrating the amazing filmmaker. Below is all the information you will need. The set will be released in time for the holidays on November 20, 2018 and will be around $300 or less. That’s a heck of a deal, considering there are so many movies.

It will be the year 2018 in a couple short months, which bring in the New Year with tons of optimism, new slates, blossoming relationships, low-carb diets, and tons of new, exciting movies. Speaking of movies, Criterion has unveiled the first films they will release for 2018, starting in January, which looks like it’s gonna be BADASS! I mean, are we really getting ‘The Breakfast Club’ on Criterion? YES, yes we are. Does that mean we will get more John Hughes’ films in the future? Let’s hope so. Below you can read about each release.

THE FILM

It’s very rare that a film has such a profound effect on you that you can’t get it out of your head for days. I love discussing all movies, from the latest indie art-house film to the latest blood and guts horror fest to the animated comedies of Pixar, and even old classics from the 1930s and forward. Rarely though, does a film leave me thinking about it for days on end and make me contemplate life and myself and the decisions I have made that had me end up right here. One of those films was Claude Lanzmann’s ‘Shoah’, which put me on an emotional downward spiral for a while. It made me look at myself, us as a people, history, and what makes us tick. It’s a film that deserves its own category and awards, because there is nothing else like it and there never will be.

After a two week vacation, The Multi-Media Men are back with the 35th episode that covers all things in the entertainment industry. We had a full house this time around with myself Bryan Kluger, Adam Conway from the Angelika Film Center, Gadi Elkon from Selig Film News, Andrew Conway, Gwen Reyes from Fresh Fiction, and Susan Kamyab from This Chix Flix. It was a lot of fun to say the least. As usual, we start off each episode with some sort of Top 3 list, and this 35th episode is no different. We decided to come up with some movies that Criterion should consider adding to their ever impressive collection. There are some excellent suggestions here along with some ideas for great bonus features. If you are unfamiliar with Criterion, check them out HERE. Basically, they are like the Neiman Marcus of home video. Criterion has the best video and audio transfers in the business and generally has the best bonus features in town. Not to mention that almost all of their films are five-star movies. So here is what we think Criterion should release in the coming year or so. Let us know if you agree or missed anything. And please let us know what you think by going to our FACEBOOK page, which you should visit to catch up on all the latest information. And don’t forget to visit iTunes and Stitcher to subscribe to our podcast. Enjoy the show.

What an excellent geek deal sale going on right now. For the time being, Most of the Criterion Blu-rays are on sale over at Amazon. I’ve seen them as low as under $6.00. That’s not an exaggeration, just look below. If you are a fan of the Criterion Blu-ray collection, then this is the time to get them, for I don’t know how long this sale will last.

Happy holidays everyone. I sure hope you all have been receiving some AWESOME gifts this holiday season. If you got some extra money from your gifts and you are a fan of AWESOME movies, then this is one hell of a Geek Deal for you. Right now you can get five different recent Criterion Blu-rays for 46% off. The films include: ’12 Angry Men’, Stanley Kubrick’s ‘The Killing’, ‘The Rules of the Game’, ‘Carlos’, and ‘Kuroneko’. These are all awesome and very much worth of being in your collection. 4 out of 5 of the films are $21.49 each. That’s one kick ass deal for criterion. Take advantage.

‘The Phantom Carriage’ has arrived on blu-ray through the spectacular Criterion Collection company. And once again, Criterion knocks this release out of the park with its stunning hi-def transfer and the amazing extras that is packed on this release. I’m a huge fan of silent films and this creepy 1921 film by Victor Sjostrom was way ahead of its time and the effects that were done for the time were incredible. If you are a fan of silent films and horror movies, then this film is for you. A must buy.

TCM has found a way to get into the streaming game in a most TCM way. Introducing FilmStruck, the first domestic subscription video-on-demand that launches October 19th and features a lot of the key aspects that make TCM your go-to channel for all things film.

A tad late bringing this past week’s cool blu-ray picks to you, but it’s here and this coming week’s releases should be on time. Not a ton of stuff this week, except for tons of double feature re-releases which we won’t mention. Next week looks amazing though. Anywho, let’s jump right in and get to all the goodies. As usual in this article, you will get some info about the disc and the extras that come with the movie as well as a personal opinion about the movie and a link to purchase the film over at AMAZON where you can save quite a bit of money, and it will give a small percentage kick back to this site so we can continue bringing you excellent stories and bizarre tales. So click on the pictures and start saving.

For a while now, Steve McQueen (Shame) and Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class) have been making movies together. From 2008’s Hunger, which is now in the Criterion Collection, to the NC-17 rated Shame, they’ve been garnering quite a bit of critical acclaim from the film world. Now, their new project has drawn in another big name: Brad Pitt. He’s another one that if I need to tell you what he’s been in, you need to watch more movies. Or get out from under your rock. Though I’m sure it’s a nice rock.

On time for this week. HOORAY! Getting these cranked out on time feels oh so sweet. Well anyway, this is a fucking HUGE week for releases so let us jump right in and get to all the goodies. Some of the must own blu-rays include ‘Dazed and Confused’, ‘Super’, plus some other goodies. As usual, in this article, you will get some info about the disc and the extras that come with the movie as well as a personal opinion about the movie and a link to purchase the film over at AMAZON where you can save quite a bit of money, and it will give a small percentage kick back to this site so we can continue bringing you excellent stories and sales.

On time today. WOO-HOO! Well anyway, this is a pretty great but small week for releases so let us jump right in and get to all the goodies. Some of the must own blu-rays include ‘Criterion’s The Music Room’, ‘Amelie’, plus some other goodies. As usual, in this article, you will get some info about the disc and the extras that come with the movie as well as a personal opinion about the movie and a link to purchase the film over at AMAZON where you can save quite a bit of money, and it will give a small percentage kick back to this site so we can continue bringing you excellent stories and sales.

One of the best films in the last 50 years. Right at the top of that list. Robert De Niro is fucking brilliant in this movie. I can’t believe this movie has not been released on bluray yet. This film is unrelenting, unmerciful, brutal, and all kinds of AWESOME. A MUST OWN MOVIE.

This film is so amazing and so remarkable and fresh in every way possible that I can’t seem to watch it enough. I’m of course talking about Topsy Turvy, directed by Mike Leigh and starring and A-List cast. I’m a huge fan of films that cover the making of movies or in this case, a stage play. The inner workings of the behind-the-scenes of a film or stage play are hectic, stressful, hilarious, scary, and down right comical all in one bag. Just look at the films Son of Rambow or the recent Birdman.

I can’t believe we have a third film in ‘The Human Centipede‘ franchise. This is supposedly the final film, but I hope there will be others or director Tom Six will come back after a long hiatus and do a fourth film. If you are unaware of ‘The Human Centipede‘ films, allow me to give you a little background. The first film was more or less a straight horror film thru and thru. It had a psychopathic surgeon (Dieter Laser) who kidnapped a few twenty-somethings and sewed them ass to mouth as to form one long digestive track.

Wes Anderson is back to the live action format with his new quirky coming of age film, Moonrise Kingdom. I can always tell a Wes Anderson film from any other films. The camera angles, the oddball characters, the musical cues with the slow-motion action, and how every character puts their emotions on the frontline makes up the guts and glory of a Wes Anderson film. Some people might find all this obnoxious, but Moonrise Kingdom, with its two tween stars, everything seems to work flawlessly.

Beasts of the Southern Wild is no doubt in my top-10 list for best films of 2012. I know most of you haven’t heard of this film, but rest assured, once you see this film – and I urge you to see this film as fast you can- you will not forget it. Beasts of the Southern Wild is Benh Zeithlin’s feature-length directorial debut, and even though he is only 29 years old, he has a poetic vision that is on par with Stanley Kubrick and Terrence Malick. Zeithlin’s attention to detail allows the movie to successfully portray backwater Louisiana, magical realism, and a culture’s determination and strength. It is unlike anything I have seen. Not only is this film entertaining, smart, and creative, it is also important in that it shows a very realistic portrayal of some of the poorest people in present day America as they struggle to survive disasters both man-made and natural. This is what every indie filmmaker should strive for.

‘The Devil Makes Three’ came out 50 years ago, and still holds up today. This film which also stars Gene Kelly is part caper, part military, and part thriller. Just like ‘Black Hand’, this is a lesser known film of Gene’s, but it’s still a great one. And, I believe all of it was shot on location in Germany in the early 50’s. I think if you give ‘The Devil Makes Three’ a chance, it will be a staple in your collection.

Alright, all caught up now. There are some AMAZING releases this week. Damn, Ausgust and September are going to be great months for new blurays. JAWS!!!

Apocalypse Now: Full Disclosure Edition (Bluray)

During the Vietnam War, young U.S. Captain Willard is given the assignment to hunt down and kill one of his own: Colonel Kurtz who has apparently gone insane, murdered hundreds of innocent people, and constructed a strange kingdom for himself deep in the jungle. Willard and his crew embark on a surreal river journey to find Kurtz, meeting along the way a Lieutenant- Colonel who likes to watch surfing during live combat, and Playboy bunnies dropped in by helicopter to entertain rowdy troops.

This is one of the best films about war to date. It has an all-star cast including: Robert Duvall, Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen, Dennis Hopper, and Francis Ford Coppola as director. It is loaded with extras. I highly recommend this.

Assault Girls (Bluray)

Now I do not know much about this movie, but the synopsis makes me want to buy this and watch it. Could be a hell of a lot of chix-ploitation fun.

Plot Synopsis: When a video-game company creates an immersive gaming environment where players wage war against gigantic sand-dwelling monsters, three gorgeous gals armed to the teeth (Meisa Kuroki, Hinako Saeki and Rinko Kikuchi) accept the challenge and jump into the virtual desert. But as they blaze their way into the game’s higher levels, they face ever-more ferocious foes. Yoshikazu Fujiki also stars in this sci-fi action flick from director Mamoru Oshii.

That just sounds AWESOME. Will be checking this out.

Moulin Rouge (Bluray)

I remember seeing this in the theatre when it was first released and I was in AWE at the set design and all the cool songs that were re-done for this movie. This movie was just so beautiful to watch and I am glad it has finally received the HD treatment. So enter this fantastic world where nothing is forbidden and everything is possible and purchase this movie.

This is a remake of the 1980’s horror film about a group of college kids who summon a demon at a party and kills everyone. This remake is basically the same thing. A group of kids go to a Halloween party, only to have to face down a group of demons. If you like Demon movies and tons of gore and boobies, then this is a must own. I would also purchase the original movie as well. Just in time for Halloween.

Predators (Bluray)

A mercenary (Adrien Brody) reluctantly leads a group of elite warriors who come to realize they’ve been brought together on an alien planet… as prey. With the notable exception of a disgraced physician, they are all cold-blooded killers—mercenaries, Yakuza, convicts, death squad members—human “predators” that are now being systemically hunted and eliminated by a new breed of alien Predators.

I remember anticipating this film and that Robert Rodriguez was a major producer on this. This a re-vamp of the original film which starred Arnold, but instead of a Predator coming to Earth, humans go to the Predator planet. Worth a look and a must have for the fans of the franchise. I still miss VENTURA in his role.

Alfred Hitchock’s masterpiece, “Psycho” finally gets the HD treatment. This is hands down one of the scariest films of all time. They built a ride after this film. This film still scares me and Anthony Perkins is BRILLIANT.

Norman Bates, whose old dark house and adjoining motel are not the place to spend a quiet evening. No one knows that better than Marion Crane (Janet Leigh), the ill-fated traveler whose journey ends in the notorious “shower scene.” First a private detective, then Marion’s sister (Ver Miles) searches for her, the horror and the suspense mount to a terrifying climax where the mysterious killer is finally revealed.

This is a must own for any collection.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show: 35th Anniversary Edition (Bluray)

One of the greatest cult films of all time gets the HD treatment. I remember seeing this film when I was about 10 years old and i was forever warped. Excellent music and young stars such as: Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, and Meatloaf make this film what it is…..AMAZING. They still today all over the country show midnight screenings of this film with audience participation where you can throw stuff at the screen and see actors act out the movie live in front of the screen in synch with the film. Love this film.

One of the greatest films of all time by Akira Kurosawa is about a Japanese farming village, constantly besieged and pillaged by an army of bandits, recruits seven independent samurai to defend it. This is phenomenal and am very happy to purchase this title AGAIN to get it on BLURAY. A MUST OWN.

A few good releases this week. Some titles I have been waiting quite a while for to be released. Any week is good when you get a Wes Anderson Criterion movie. So, as usual, the picture links will whisk you away over to amazon, where you can learn more about each title, and purchase the movie for a great discount, which also donates a small percent to this column to keep this website going. Here we go….

The Darjeeling Limited (Criterion Collection Bluray)

I love this Wes Anderson film. A story about three brothers who are on an emotional and physical journey to come to terms with their lives, and their father’s death, and the disappearance of their mother. The whole entire film pretty much takes place in India which is BEAUTIFUL. The soundtrack is littered with Kinks songs which makes it a pleasure to listen to. Since being a Criterion Collection release, it is packed with extras which include:

Anderson’s short film Hotel Chevalier (part one of The Darjeeling Limited)

Audio commentary featuring Anderson and cowriters

Behind-the-scenes documentary by Barry Braverman

Anderson and filmmaker James Ivory discussing the film’s music

Anderson’s American Express commercial

Dollhouse: Season 2 (Bluray)

As an “Active,” the mysterious Echo (Dushku) serves as an unwitting agent of Dollhouse, and illegal underground organization that provides its elite clientele with programmable human beings. Actives receive personality imprints, allowing them to temporarily become anyone or anything — the perfect burglar, lover, spy, or assassin. Now, with the FBI and her own shadowy past closing in, Echo must face a rogue Active who will stop at nothing to bring Dollhouse down — forever.

The Magician (Criterion Collection Bluray)

Ingmar Bergman’s The Magician (Ansiktet) is an engaging, brilliantly conceived tale of deceit from one of cinema’s premier illusionists. Max von Sydow stars as Dr. Vogler, a mid-nineteenth-century traveling mesmerist and peddler of potions whose magic is put to the test by a small town’s cruel, eminently rational minister of health, Dr. Vergerus. The result is a diabolically clever battle of wits that’s both frightening and funny, shot in rich, gorgeously gothic black and white.

Extras include:

Leaves of Grass (Bluray)

I do not know much about this film, but I cannot believe this film did not get a major release. It stars Edward Norton, Richard Dreyfuss, Tim Blake Nelson, Susan Sarandon, and Keri Russell. An Ivy League professor is lured back to his Oklahoma hometown, where his twin brother, a small-time pot grower, has concocted a scheme to take down a local drug lord. Sounds awesome. I’ll be picking this up.

Well that’s it for this week. Stay tuned for next week for new releases.
